Any more planning applications?

Chairmain of Claygate Parish Council Mark Sugden said that he was pleased with the inspector's decision to reject the application.

"The village owes much of its special character to the green belt land around it," he said.

"I felt that it was an inappropriate development that was harmful to the green belt.

"I am pleased that the inspector has made the same points in the report."
